Wet Nose Animal Rescue Centre’s annual fundraiser will be held on National Homeless Animals Day on Saturday 30 August.

The day starts at 9 am and you are invited to take a lead, choke chain, halter and brushes and adopt a Wet Nose orphan for the day. You will be welcome to dip and groom the animals and spoil them rotten. You can also take an orphan out on a walk, for which you’ll receive a gold medal.

..
These cuddly farm kittens are up for adoption.

There will be entertainment, food stalls and dog shows. You can book a stall for Homeless Animals Day for R75. All funds raised will go towards a sterilisation outreach programme where less fortunate pets are sterilised to prevent unwanted litters and to make life a little easier for them.

Wet Nose is in need of blankets, pet food and people who can help to construct the cat play park with scratch poles, terraces and plants. Wet Nose has been doing inspections at various abattoirs and has rescued over 30 horses and donkeys during June and July. With the sudden influx of horses, help is needed with the following: building more shelters and paddocks; equine food and especially food concentrates; horse blankets; halters; sawdust; and any other equine tool you might have spare.

Chubby has been at Wet Nose for four years. It’s time for him to have a real home with friends and family he can take care of. Chubby is ready for a home with big walls.

Most of all, these rescued horses need your time. Go visit them, help care for them and show them that they can trust humans again. Wet Nose is on plot 75, Vaalbank, opposite de Leeuw rose farm on the Old Bronkhorstspruit Road. It is approximately 6 km from the fourway stop intersection with the
Cullinan/Rayton road. Call them at 013- 932-3941/2.
